Course Description

Discover how to address human-related issues in system development in an integrated manner. Explore the principles of human factors engineering, personnel selection, training, safety, and other HSI technical domains. Learn how these activities across these separate areas should be integrated to reduce personnel costs and improve system performance. Find out how to use an HSI program to optimize total system performance, minimize total ownership costs, and ensure that your system is built to accommodate the characteristics of your user population that will operate, maintain, and support it.

Optional Special Topics Session

Get real-time feedback on your projects through our half-day special topics session from 8:30 a.m. to noon on the Friday after the course. Take advantage of the extra time with your instructor to review your projects and discuss other special technical issues.
